The Housing Network Seminar 2007

ONI's Social Housing Team hosted the Housing Network Seminar at the Coventry TechnoCentre on the 14th June. The Housing Network was an exciting new event for 2007 specifically aimed at Housing IT Professionals. Hosted by ONI, the seminar focused on the key challenges being faced by Housing Associations relating to IT strategy. ONI worked with several leading RSL's to understand the subjects that were of importance and created an agenda for the day that promoted collaboration through an 'open forum' approach.
It presented an ideal opportunity for delegates to share their experiences and to network with counterparts in a relaxed, non-sales atmosphere. At the same time, attendees had the opportunity to listen and contribute to accounts from both IT Managers and Industry specialists alike.
Aims for the day were to:
- Discover how new technology could lead change, modernization and improve their relationships with tenants and the Public Sector;
- Learn how web-enabled contact centres, mobile communications, and IP convergence could help RSL's manage payments more efficiently , tackle environmental issues and improve communication;
- Gain an understanding of how a converged communications network could boost staff productivity, improve customer service and reduce operating costs;
- Hear how National Housing Federation members could make significant cost savings on IP telephony solutions thanks to recent initiatives with Cisco systems;
- And hear views of industry professionals, the press and independent consultants.
ONI plc has established itself as one of the few true experts in the integrated data, voice and video market place in the UK. As an approved National Housing Federation Affinity Partner and a Cisco Gold Partner we were delighted to host this event in association with Cisco, The National Housing Federation and Inside Housing at the Coventry TechnoCentre.
